Associative property of addition represents this equation:
a + b = b + a
So, how would it be helpful with this given equation?
=> 48 + 82
=> Let's start with the ones place value.
(2 + 8) = 10, bring down 0, carry 1 then ( 4 + 8) = 12 + 1 = 13
So the answer is 130.
If we are going to do it vice versa, still expect that the same answer will occur.
